Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-10-16

shoulder cape, or else a series of
shoulder capes gradually enlarging, un-
til the last covers the shoulders and
falls nearly to the elbows; series of
cuffs is made to match the capes.
Smooth ivory cloths are used for
dress cloaks, and rough-looking yet
soft English cloths in bars and stripes
for those for general use.
For the first short cloaks Of infants
two cloaks are commended-a white
cashmere or cloth cloak for incest oc-
casions, and a darker one for every
day, the new fancy, for the latter, be-
ing a dark blue cloak braided with red
on the deep cape, which falls far below
the short waist and close sleeves.
The white cashmere dressy cloaks are
warmly wadded, and are made with
shocked fullness at the top in front
and back, their only trimming, row
of white silk brier stitching on the
sleeves, collar, and around the entire
garment about three inches above the
edge. Infants long cloaks are also
made of white cashmere of two full
breaths, warmly wadded and brier-
stitched; the shape is a very short
waist with coat sleeves and a round
collar edged with deep Irish lace.
The first short frocks put on when
the infant is six months old remain
the yoke slips of white French nam
sock hitherto described, but which
are trimmed with drawn-work (hem-
stitching), feather or brier stitching,
and tucks done by hand. Bats and
lengthwise stripes of hem-stitching
are prettily done in the wide hem OF
the skirt. Belted waist muslin dresses
are put on well-grown children when
a year old, and these, with the yoke
slips, are worn until the child is three
years old, when color cashmeres are
used, such as were described in the
Bazar of last week.
English smocks are also charming
dresses for children from one to four
years old. They are made of white
China silk, or of cashmere or flannel,
with their fullness shocked" at the
top with feather stitching around the
skirt, on the turned-over collar, and
the shocked frils of the gather sleeves.
A pretty theatre toilet for the demi-
season is a dress of changeable silk,
copper, red and gold in color, with
drappery and flounces edged with
pinking and with black lace. The
only wrap is a short round-shoulder
cape of copper-red velvet without
trimming. The small poke of black
tulle has loops of the red velvet and
changeable silk with a gold aigrette.
A carriage toilette of black Benga-
line may be stylishly frightened by
combining it with quadriHe Bengaline,
the wide-apart bars being of bright
cherry-color and cream white. This
crossed-barred silk is used for the
lower skirt and for parasol silk.
There is revival in the fancy for
jerseys OF both wool and silk, but they
are no longer plain and closely fitted,
the preference being for various gath
cred waists, some having yokes, while
others are shirred on the shoulders,
and drawn down in pleats to meet a
pointed half-girdle of velvet. This is
very handsome in copper red or in
robbin' 's-egg blue for wearing with va
rious skirts.
Matinees or morning sacques of
CdSUlntTG are llldte WIFI llON my
vest of tucked white surrah, and are
shirred across the waist in the back
a strapped belt is buttoned across the
back only. The fronts are loose, and
slope open from the throat, disclosing
the vest, and are hemmed widely,
then briar stitched with white.
Slightly full sleeves with turned up
cuffs.
